Kanowna South
The Kanowna South Project lies approximately 10km north east of Kalgoorlie, midway between the giant Kalgoorlie (+70Moz) and Kanowna (+7Moz) gold eposits. The project consists of 5 Prospecting Licence applications covering approximately 780Ha.
The project covers a poorly exposed sequence of black shales and other sedimentary rocks. There has been surprisingly limited previous exploration given the project’s location. The work to date includes a detailed aeromagnetic survey, first pass auger soil geochemistry, and broad spaced (400m by 100m) vertical RAB drilling.
Best result to date – PKR823, 4m @ 5.25g/t Au from 8m.
This is associated with a cross cutting structure near the black shale/epiclastic contact. There appears to never been any follow up of this drill hole since it was drilled in August 1997.
